Swansea City legend Andy Robinson is recovering in hospital after suffering a heart attack on Thursday.
The 45-year-old is believed to be in a stable condition, with the news sparking an outpouring of support from Swans fans and beyond.
Robinson remains a hugely popular figure with the Jack Army, having served the club with distinction during a five-year spell with the club, whom he joined from Tranmere Rovers in 2003. Sign up to our Swansea City newsletter here.
'Robbo' would make 231 appearances for the Swans, and would win two promotions, as well as the Football League Trophy, during his time in south Wales.
He would later go on to make 50 appearances for Leeds United, before returning to Tranmere and then enjoying short stints at Stockport County and Shrewsbury Town.

Since hanging up his boots, Robinson has been working as a commentator and pundit.
He has frequently given his views on the Swans, whom he still clearly has a massive affinity for, and hasn't always shied away from speaking his mind.
